CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Not Applicable FIELD OF INVENTION [0003]The present invention relates to the development of patterned painted surfaces, such as a camouflaged surface, and particularly to a kit useful for developing a patterned painted surface, such as a camouflage pattern on a boat, all terrain vehicle, truck, hunting blind, outdoor shed, wall, roof or other surface. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0004]At times it is desired to camouflage a boat, motor vehicle, or other items commonly associated with the hunting sports, bird watching, animal habit studies and like ventures. Camouflage also is commonly employed in military environments. In similar manner, at times, generation of an outdoor scene is desired for an interior wall of a building. [0005]Heretofore, it has been common to use a template to paint a camouflage pattern on at least the outwardly exposed surface or surfaces of an object, such as a boat, etc. to be camouflaged. This activity heretofore involved several steps, each being carried out substantially independently of the other. For example, heretofore, one had to research (a) a pattern of camouflage for a given environment, e.g., a desert environment, a green forest environment, a winter forest environment, an environment which included a body of water (e.g., lake, river or ocean, a blue sky environment, (b) the appropriate paints to be used, i.e., color(s), and the compatibility of the multiple colors of paints, (c) method of application of the camouflage to the object, (d) and possibly the most difficult issue of all, how to develop a pattern for the camouflage. In this latter respect, considerable personal artistic aptitude is most helpful. This talent requirement has resulted in an industry directed to the design and production of templates or stencils. These products, however, limit the choice of landscape, camouflage, etc. to those templates which are commercially available. Among other things, such commercial templates are limited to the size offered commercially and are rather expensive, many being single use templates, and time consuming to use. When using either templates or when "free-hand" painting of a landscape, camouflage or other scene, there remains the necessity of the user to seek out sources of each of those products which their research revealed to be necessary to develop the desired camouflage, all at the expense of time and money. [0006]In the present disclosure, the pattern to be painted onto a surface is referred to as a "camouflage" pattern or "camouflaging" a surface or object. It will be understood that the pattern need not be "camouflage", but may be any of a large variety of scenes, particularly outdoor scenes. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007]In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a kit which comprises a package containing those items necessary to develop a patterned painted surface without employing a template, and particularly a camouflage pattern on a surface of an object, and including instructions as to how to utilize such items to develop the patterned painted scene. These items may include multiple cans of compatible paints of different colors, at least one patterned paint roller for applying the paint, and trays for holding the paints for loading the rollers with paint. One or more of the items in the kit is designed to instruct the user in the application of a multiplicity of compatible layers of differently colored paints over all or a part of the surface to be camouflaged, employing the patterned rollers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES [0008]FIG. 1 is a representation of a typical kit embodying various of the features of the present invention, [0009]FIG. 2 is an exploded schematic representation of various components of the kit depicted in FIG. 1; [0010]FIG. 3 is a representation of a typical first roller element of the present invention and depicting one pattern of a given paint which may be applied to a paintable surface upon one rotation of the depicted first roller element about its rotational axis; [0011]FIG. 4 is a representation of a first roller element of the present invention and including a representation of one pattern of a given paint which may be applied to a paintable surface upon one rotation of the depicted first roller element when employing only an outboard end portion of the depicted roller; [0012]FIG. 5 is a representation of a second roller element of the present invention, and depicting a representation of one pattern of a given paint which may be applied to a paintable surface upon one rotation of the depicted second roller element; [0013]FIG. 6 is a representation of one pattern of paint which may be applied to a surface upon one rotation of the second roller element as depicted in FIG. 5 when employing only an outboard end portion of the depicted roller; [0014]FIG. 7 is a representation of a portion of the side of the bow end of a boat having a camouflage pattern painted thereon employing a kit of the present invention; [0015]FIG. 8 is a representation of a wall having a camouflage pattern of a tree trunk and associated limbs painted thereon employing a kit of the present invention; and, [0016]FIG. 9 is a schematic representation of a unitary cylinder of a polymeric foam useful in the forming of one embodiment of a roller element of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION [0017]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, in one embodiment of a kit of the present invention there is included at least first and second paint rollers 12 and 14, respectively, having their respective outer cylindrical surfaces 16 and 18 defined in accordance with various aspects of the present invention, a quantity of each of a plurality of compatible paints 20,22,24 and 26 of differing colors, a paint tray 28,30,32, and 34 for each of the paint colors, and instructional materials 36 for the use of the kit to develop a painted camouflage pattern on the surface of an object, such as a boat 38 (see FIG. 7), or a wall (see FIG. 8). The instructional materials may include printed materials and/or instructions on an electronic medium, such as a VHS tape, CD, or DVD disc(s). These, and such other items as may be employed in the development of a given patterned painted scene on a surface, are compactly housed within a strong container 40, such as a corrugated cardboard box for handling, storage and/or shipping.
